Remove clang-only branch hints from ZSTD_decodeSequence
Looking at the __builtin_expect in ZSTD_decodeSequence:
{ size_t offset;
#if defined(__clang__)
if (LIKELY(ofBits > 1)) {
#else
if (ofBits > 1) {
#endif
ZSTD_STATIC_ASSERT(ZSTD_lo_isLongOffset == 1);
From profile-annotated assembly, the probability of ofBits > 1 is about 75%
(101k counts out of 135k counts). This is much smaller than the recommended
likelihood to use __builtin_expect which is 99%. As a result, clang moved the
else block further away which hurts cache locality. Removing this
__built_expect along with two others in ZSTD_decodeSequence gave better
performance when PGO is enabled. I suggest to remove these branch hints and
rely on PGO which leverages runtime profiles from actual workload to calculate
branch probability instead.
